In the present embodiment, the carriage 11 is formed in two parts, wherein a first part 11.1 and a second part 11.2 form the camera carriage 11. Laterally, an opening 11.7 is arranged in the carriage 11, through which an electrical line 14 (camera cable) extends, which is electronically connected to the camera 4 in the interior of the camera carriage 11. An advantage of the two-part camera carriage 11 is that the camera 4 can be mounted more easily in the camera carriage 11.

As shown in the figures, the gear means are designed such that the camera 4 is movable to a further, beyond the retracted position 1 additional position 3, via a manual operation from the outside 5, which in the FIGS. 8 to 10 is shown. About the movement of the camera 4 from the retracted position 1 in the direction of additional position 3, a signal can be triggered, which can trigger a vehicle-specific function. In the present embodiment, the signal is used so that the tailgate can be opened. According to Figure 1 to 4 such as FIG. 10 the user presses on the camera device 10, in particular on a cover 12 of the camera device 10, which according to the FIGS. 1 to 4 is in the closed position 17. In the extended position 2 of the camera 4, the lid 12 is in the open position 18. On the lid 12 acts a spring 6, so that reliably the lid 12 can move independently from the open position 18 in the closed position 17 when the camera 4 is moved in the retracted position 1.

The carriage 11 has an opening 11.7 laterally, through which the electrical line 14 extends to the camera 4. The camera carriage 11 is also according to the invention by a housing 20 includes, which is designed in two parts in the present embodiment. In this case, the housing 20 has a front housing part 21 and a rear housing part 30. The front housing part 21 is aligned with the cover 12, wherein the rear housing part 30 faces the drive 50. The front housing part 21 comprises an opening 23, which is aligned with the cover 12. In the retracted position 1 or in the additional position 3, the cover 12 covers the opening 23. In the extended position 2 of the camera 4, however, the lid 12 is in the open position 18, wherein the opening 23 is visible from the outside 5 and the camera 4 at least partially through the opening 23 extends. The housing 20 also has a lateral recess 22 through which the conduit 14 extends. The recess 22 is covered by a cover 26, which also has a sealing function. The recess 22 is formed enlarged, so that when a movement of the carriage 11, the conduit 14 can move reliably in the recess 22. The recess 22 thus provides a sufficiently large range of motion for the line 14. According to FIG. 1 and FIG. 7 the carriage 11 is movably mounted within the housing 20, wherein the housing 20 has a guide element 34, in which the carriage 11 is guided during the movement between the positions 1, 2, 3. The carriage 11, in particular the first part 11.1 of the carriage 11 has a receptacle 80 which is movably mounted within the guide element 34 of the housing 20. According to the illustrated embodiment, a band 81 comprises the receptacle 80, wherein the band is advantageously made of POM. When the camera 4 is moved to the respective position 1, 2, 3, the belt 80 moves within the guide member 34 of the housing 20. As in FIG. 7 is shown, the first part 11.1 of the carriage 11 on both sides of the above-described receptacle 80, which is covered by a respective band 81. It has been shown that during the movement of the carriage 11 no noise within the guide member 34 of the housing 20 is formed. In addition, such storage of the carriage 11 on the housing 20 is very wear.

In FIG. 2 it can be seen that the housing 20 has a receptacle 25 in which at least one transmission means for moving the carriage 11 is movably received in its respective position 1, 2, 3. The transmission means is in operative connection with the drive 50, wherein the drive 50 may be, for example, an electric motor. The transmission means may according to FIG. 2 provided driver 40 which is located in the receptacle 25 of the rear housing part 30 itself.

According to the embodiment, the drive 50 has a drive element 51 which is movable about an axis 52. In addition, the drive element 51 is formed with a cam 53 which engages the driver 40. The driver 40 has a slotted guide 44 and is rotatably mounted about the axis 41. The cam 53 moves within the slotted guide 44 when the camera 4 moves to its respective position 1, 2, 3.

In FIG. 8 the retracted position 1 of the camera 4 is shown. The cam 53 is located in a first region 45 of the guide 44. If now takes place via the drive 50, a movement of the drive member 51 in a clockwise direction, the cam 53 moves within the slide guide 44, in particular within the first range 45 to the position according to FIG. 9 , While the drive member 51 has pivoted clockwise about the axis 52, the driver 40 is pivoted clockwise about the axis 41. Spaced to the axis 41, the driver 40 is connected to the carriage 11 by means of a fastener 42. This is especially in FIG. 6 and 7 shown. Here it is shown that the fastening element 42 is movable within a compensation contour 43 of the driver 40. The compensation contour 43 is a slot in the present embodiment. The fastening element 42 may be, for example, a riveted joint.

A return movement of the camera 4 from the extended position 2 in the retracted position 1 can be effected by that via the drive 50, the drive element 51 in the counterclockwise direction FIG. 9 is rotated until the position of the drive element 51 is reached, it in FIG. 8 occupies. If now a manual operation by the user on the carriage 11 from the outside, the carriage 11 is retracted from the Position 1 moves to the additional position 3, which in FIG. 10 is shown. Here, the slide guide 44 is formed such that reliably the carriage 11 can be moved with the driver 40 disposed thereon in the vehicle interior, without causing an unwanted collision with stationary transmission means such. B. the drive element 51 comes. For this reason, the slide guide 44 has a second region 46, which is a further recess within the driver 40, wherein the recess extends in the direction of the cover 12. In contrast to the second region 46, the first region 45 of the slide guide 44 extends elongated, in the opposite direction to the axis 41 of the driver 40. One side of the first region 45 is also partially circular segment-like, so that upon rotation of the drive element 51 starting from FIG. 8 clockwise initially the driver 40 remains in its position. As a result, a freewheel is generated, which may be advantageous, especially in the selection of simple, inexpensive electric motors. Only from a certain rotational position of the drive 50 and the drive member 51 of the cam 53 takes the driver 40 in a clockwise direction, whereby a movement of the carriage 11 is achieved. Advantageously, the movement of the carriage 11 shown in the exemplary embodiment is a linear movement between the respective positions 1, 2, 3.

According to FIG. 3 and 4 It is shown that on the carriage 11, a spring 31 acts to move the carriage 11 from the additional position 3 back to the retracted position 1. The spring 31 is located in a chamber 32 of the housing 20, in particular of the rear housing part 30, wherein the chamber 32 is provided with an opening 33 into which a projection 11.8 can retract. In the retracted position 1 of the camera 4, the spring element 31 preferably exerts no force on the projection 11.8. Only when moving in the direction of additional position 3, the projection 11.8 approaches the spring element 31. If the user exerts no more force on the carriage 11, in particular on the cover 12, the spring force of the spring 31, which acts on the projection 11.8 in that the carriage 11 moves with the camera 4 back into the retracted position 1.

It is also conceivable that the additional position 3 can be held by latching means, which is not explicitly shown. As in FIG. 1 and 2 is shown, the camera apparatus 10 is provided with a switching element 16 which is disposed above the carriage 11. The switch 16 projects at least partially into the travel path of the carriage 11. moreover the carriage 11 a trigger element 11.6, which triggers the switching element 16 during movement of the camera 4 in the direction of additional position 3. The switching element 16 is fixedly secured to the housing 20. If the switching element 16 is activated, a triggering of a signal follows, as a result of which a vehicle-specific function can be triggered.

As in FIG. 5 is shown, the movable cover 12 on the inside pressure elements 19 which act on the camera 4 in a manual operation from the outside 5. The pressure elements 19 engage in receptacles 11.9, wherein when the camera 4 is moved out into the extended position 2, the pressure elements 19 slide in the receptacles 11.9 and have a corresponding guidance during the movement of the lid 12. The pressure elements 19 are located on the inside of the cover 12 and project in the direction of the slide 11.

According to FIG. 7 is the carriage 11, in particular the second part 11.2 executed with a holding element 11.5 through which the fastener 42 extends. In the region of the opening 23 is a seal 15 on which the lid 12 rests in the closed position 17, see FIG. 5 , In the present embodiment, the seal 15 is a labyrinth seal which effects an effective seal. An ornamental ring 13 is peripherally arranged to the cover 12, wherein the trim ring projecting out of the motor vehicle to the outside 5 5 extends.

In FIG. 7 For example, a crash barrier 84 is shown that is movable between a rest position 85 and an active position 86. As a rule, the crash barrier 84 is in the rest position 85, so that the carriage 11 can be moved into its respective positions 1, 2, 3. In the event of an accident, acceleration forces can act on the motor vehicle, in particular the camera device 10, so that unintentionally the carriage 11 can shift in the direction of the additional position 3. Consequently, the switch 16 would be triggered unintentionally. To prevent this, the crash barrier 84 strikes out of its rest position 85 into the active position 86 and acts directly on the carriage 11 in such a way that the crash barrier 84 in its active position 86 prevents the carriage 11 from moving in the direction of additional position 3. According to FIG. 7 By way of example, the crash barrier 84 is shown in its active position 86, the design of the crash barrier 84 being highly schematic. Of course, it is conceivable that the crash barrier 84 otherwise on Sleigh 11 can act. As a rule, the crash barrier 84 has a weight which, due to the inertia, is moved faster in the direction of the active position 86 than the carriage 11 would do.
